The guard nods and scurries off to notify the others. Daggat sits uneasily, knowing that Raghide was a fast and reliable scout

When Arkan opens his eyes, a dagger is at his throat. The fox scowls and turns his eyes to the side, where Slipshade stands firmly with the dagger held out. Arkan eyes Slipshade venomously. "Are we going to sit here and look into each other's beautiful eyes all day or will this meeting go somewhere?

Slipshade takes the dagger away. "I had to take some precaution. You Marlfoxes could be impulsive creatures."

Arkan raises an eyebrow as he sits up, his eyes shifting quickly to a table in the corner of the tent where his sword lies. "Marlfox? What are you talking about?"

The black rat leans in. "There is an imposter in Mossflower, my friend. One pretending to be the Marlfox. But I know there is only one Marlfox."

Arkan suddenly kicks Slipshade back and lunges for the sword on his desk. However, the rat shoves him down and the desk is knocked over, sending the sword skidding across the ground to rest at Slipshade's foot. The rat stows his dagger and picks up the sword, admiring it as the fox recovers. Arkan bares his teeth at Slipshade. "There is only one Marlfox, fool."

Slipshade tosses the sword to Arkan and raises his arms up. "I do not wish to make an enemy of you. I am just here to inform you that your army will not be able to stand against both Redwall and the enemy of which I speak.

Arkan brushes dirt off his fur and inquires further. "You say somebeast is pretending to be a Marlfox? The Marlfox?" Slipshade nods. "So what? Does he have an army?" Slipshade nods once more. Arkan girmaces. "I'll kill him then." Slipshade smirks.

"This is no joke of an army. Us water rats would decimate your army of fools and dimwits." Arkan doesn't deny the claim, but instead gives Slipshade an ominous look.

"Well I shall show your water rats. I shall show them who the real Marlfox is. Let them come. We will be ready."
